Tough Love

I Corinthians 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
The first 12 words of that scripture speak volumes. 

Paul, in his wisdom and inspiration, let us know thousands of years ago that we would face a time when God's word would become nothing more than a few suggestions in a book. We live in an age where behavior that will send you to hell, won't send you to jail. Fewer and fewer people worry about the eternal effects of their actions. They only worry about the now. They don't realize they have their priorities backwards...

The moral expectations of most people have been significantly lowered. Our children are being taught that society, and not God, determines what is acceptable and right. They are told not to feel guilty when their actions and behaviors are in direct opposition to God's word, because "God made you the way you are."
That's as asinine as telling an alcoholic,or a heroin addict that God made him that way. When we chose to behave in direct opposition to God's word, we are opposing God Himself. Let me tell you, He is not someone I'd want to go head to head with...ever.

It is time that Father's got jobs, supported their families, loved their wives, and became the spiritual leaders of their households. Party time is over boys, put away the booze and the drugs and man up.

It's time that Mother's set a good example of what a Godly woman should be, and behaved like ladies. Bars and Taverns are no place for a mother, girls. If you wanted to act like a drunken tart, you should not have had kids. There is no reason on earth that you should be leaving your kids on a weekend night to go drink and party. Sorry. Look it up.

And for those of you raised by the above type of parents, quit using their bad behavior as an excuse to be a
drunk
drug addict
abuser
theif
liar
lowlife
need I go on??? Get a grip, pull your boots up and realize that as long as you have one breath left in your body you have an opportunity to set your life right. Better do it before your last chance passes you by.
